In a subtle way, this statement right here is the issue at hand: "I think that everyone can fundamentally agree that X is important. However, I think that most people will agree that Y is not important."

When this is just an individual statement of opinion, it's fine. However, modern cellphones are not general-purpose computing devices; they are specifically designed to do some tasks and to not do other tasks. Some indivudal or group at Apple or Google or Microsoft has already made the decision that X is important and Y is not important, and everyone who uses their devices is stuck with that opinion. You have no vote.
